I met our next guest, Sandra Mercer, at the end of 2019 when she applied for a Nana Grant to help with child care for her three little boys.

Sandra was a 4.0 computer science student at West Georgia Technical College and a single mother. She worked as a computer science tutor and supported her family on an internship at Southwire, a manufacturing company in metro-Atlanta.

Sandra graduated from the Nana Grants program earlier this year, but before she left us, I wanted to get her in the studio to share her story. Sandra has what her boss and professional mentor calls “want to.” When she wants something, she gets it. And her enthusiasm and drive are contagious. You can’t leave a conversation with Sandra without feeling a little of her “want to” has rubbed off on you.
